The Bulls players seemed to take it in stride, with everyone but Brewer having a noticeable smile on their faces. And Brewer may well have been smiling, I just didn’t see it.

In the end, no one was more laughable than the Hornets, who barely avoided the franchise record for fewest points in a game (65) in a 90-67 loss and dropped to 4-22 on the season. (Good luck finding an owner for that steaming heap, Stern).
